It's quite common way to get good performance out of emulated code, althought usually it's JIT. But yeah, it is crazy complex

And how user is supposed to know that the company is a trustworthy company just selling their software and not a scam ? Single Debian volunteer would have to do quite a bit of work to get into position of being able to just push malware int

99% of software packed for Debian will just work with any of the derivatives. No idea how it looks like on the RPM side, but as long as your distro is new enough, 3rd party software packaged for Ubuntu usually works on Debian and 3rd party

Just gardens. Package repositories are just that, you can pick whatever you want. Games are a bit of special case as they don't exactly play nice with Linux and many of them are also run thru emulation like Proton

The way of solving it would be streamlining adding new repositories for the 3rd party stuff. Way too often it's "download some dumbass script running some half-assed autodetection just to add a line of text to config and a GPG key

Regular users on linux shouldn't be downloading software through their web-browser at all. They should be adding a repository trusted with keys but so far UI/UX for it is horrible for regular users. Still better than... whatever t

We send a self assessment form (which is pretty much "here is list of techs we use, judge yourself on how good you are on them" before recruiting and ask candidates near-only of things they say they are good on the resume or that

I saw RedHat backport kernel bugs... we had one that bricked VLAN support on certain NIC that was put into Centos 5. For those that do not know, RHEL kernels are a bit of an abomination with both bugfixes and new features backported, just s

It's weekend and I assume people designated to answer questions on forums do not work 24/7. It could be them not sending notification about it early enough or at all, it could be that note being stuck in spam or something, it coul

Pretty sure making sure dude doing electric work actually knows basic is a good thing not "over-licensure"

Right but you need the entirety of other electric stuff before the water heater, all the way from utility box.

> Why a plumber can't hook up power to a water heater is beyond me. That alone ate a week. Well, cos they didn't get the license. There is nothing really stopping plumber from getting electrician's license.

If you try to save on workforce cost by.... making materials more expensive, that only works if materials are not the big part of the cost. But they are for housing, usually by far the biggest cost. If it is just "mold plastic differen

Yeah but if you don't have attached article the first thing I'm gonna think about is "sloppy" or "this person is into boring tasks like watching paint dry"

by ilyt 3y ago
My first thought was "people that do the boring enough stuff comparable to watching paint drip/dry" so dunno whether name is all that good or not. But I definitely acquired some skills in similar method, just doing something,
